Former Coralville man gets prison for firearm charge

A Davenport man has been sentenced to almost four years in prison after police say they found drugs and a stolen firearm in a North Liberty home he was using to distribute narcotics.

Orlando A. Brown, 31, was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court to 46 months in prison after pleading guilty to a felon in possession of a firearm charge, according to a Friday press release. Brown will also serve three years supervised release after prison.

Police say on July 12, 2013 they found marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and a loaded handgun in a North Liberty home that Brown, who was living in Coralville at the time, was using to distribute drugs.

The gun was found to be stolen in a 2012 Iowa City burglary, police say.
